This study tested two gene editing techniques, mitoTALEN and mitoTALECD, on potato mitochondria to knockout a specific genetic sequence. It is important for potential use in improving vegetatively propagated crops.
Scientists analyzed the genome of sainfoin, a forage plant with medicinal properties, and found that it has a high number of genes involved in the production of beneficial compounds. This study enhances our knowledge of leguminous plants and their secondary metabolites.
Study finds variation in terpene profiles in guava cultivars due to genetic diversity and regulation, impacting essential oil chemotypes and adaptability to different habitats.
NAA application delays grape ripening, increases β-damascenone and TDN, decreases IBMP, and triggers changes in norisoprenoid metabolisms through ABA and auxin signaling pathways. VvABF2 and VvARF10 are potential regulators. Important for improving grape quality.
Scientists studied phytochrome-interacting factors in wheat, identifying 18 genes categorized into four groups. Two active genes, TaPIF2-1B and TaPIF4-5B, were found to impact plant development and stress responses, providing insight into PIF-mediated stress responses in wheat.
